India captain Sunil Chhetri on Wednesday said the team's underwhelming draw in the FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Bangladesh was no match to the electrifying atmosphere at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.

Hours after the game that turned out to be the team's worst of the campaign so far, Chhetri expressed his disappointment.

“We couldn't deliver a performance to match the atmosphere at the Salt Lake last night, and the dressing room is very disappointed about it,” Chhetri, one of the leading scores in international football, tweeted.

He said the team couldn't make use of the opportunities, but no less mediocre was India's defending.

“We couldn't capitalise on the chances we got, but this is a process on the pitch and in the stands. You turned up, we'll keep attempting to.”
